California Community Foundation: Portraits of Compassion
California Community Foundation commissioned me to photographed ten individuals who are giving selflessly and making a positive impact in Los Angeles County. I created environmental portraits of each individual in places where they engage with their communities, informed by research, conversations, and site visits. The images were exhibited at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in a group exhibition titled Portraits of Compassion alongside the work of photographers Noé Montes and Sam Comen.
